Books Bought

I'm a bit of a book buying addict. It is extremely difficult, almost painful, to walk into a bookstore and not leave with at least one book. Because of this I have the tendency to buy books at a faster rate than I can read through all of them. This has resulted in quite a large TBR pile (I think at last count it was at 62. Not too bad.)

This week I had a gift card so I didn't feel so guilty about splurging a bit. I brought home two books:

I have heard nothing but positive reviews about The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. Now I just have to decide which one to read first!

Nikola - I can't tell you the number of times I've picked up a book just because I thought the cover was attractive haha It's nice to know I'm not the only one who does this :)

Jenny - Whoa...300 books! And I thought mine was big! I'm on bookmooch (which I think is similar to pbs) and have acquired more books that way. Although I'm also giving away a few, so that helps even it out I think ;)

Ah, I have heard of both these titles and I think I'll have to read one of Stieg Larsson's books someday. I have a huge TBR pile too! I also love buying books, and that often results in me hurting my wallet.

This calls for one of those 12-Step programs, but I wouldn't even go to one if they existed.

Love the Shadow of the Wind cover! May have to buy it for the cover alone. *L* Have heard good things about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as well. Tough choice on which to read next. Enjoy them both!
